1. Man Of Steel (2013)

Finally we come to Zack Snyder’s Superman movie, which took Chris Nolan’s approach to Batman and lent it to character who should never be described as “brooding.” Superman is an iconic symbol of simplistic fun, but in Snyder’s hands the man of steal is a sad sack who destroys buildings and cries out in anguish. This 2.5 era combination of destruction porn and misery porn is a deathly dull rendition of a character who should be anything but. It’s a frustrating viewing experience for Superman fans made all the more frustrating by the fact that it’s essentially the pilot episode for the all-new DC superhero movie universe coming from Warner Brothers. So, if you like your superheroes taken way too seriously, then get ready to live in a golden age you sadsack so-and-so. For the next little while not even Aquaman will be allowed to have fun (and that waterlogged party animal really doesn’t deserve to be saddened).
